If you receive a "call for papers" claiming to be from Elsevier publications but originating from a Gmail or other webmail address or asking you to reply to a free webmail address, ignore it. It's a scam design to trick people into paying " handling fees" to the scammers. The following emails are part of an Advance Fee Scam. See our "419" fraud FAQ for more information on such scams.
See a warning on the Elsevier website about the fraudulent mails.
If you have any suspect email that you want to report or have checked, you can copy and paste the message text into our "Scam-O-Matic" webform for an instant reply.
If you get suspect emails, you can also forward them to our scam-reporting e-mail address
Though you won't normally get a reply we do use your reports to shut down scammers and to warn others.
